13 Delicious & Healthy Breakfast Recipes

April 8, 2015

Good morning!!

I may have mentioned this before, but breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. I mean, there are just so many options — endless options really! Sweet or savory, hot or cold, bowl or plate. And now that all of the snow has melted away and the sun is actually out in the sky BEFORE I head off to work, I’m more than ready to put away my trusty white white ramekin that I made oatmeal in eeeeevery morning for what seems like forever, to explore all the wonderful poached eggs with avocado, crunchy granolas, and banana pancakes drizzled with peanut butter that make me truly believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Who said you can’t have chocolate for breakfast?? These smoothies taste more like a milkshake & let you have dessert before noon — all while packing in the powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits of cherries. Forget the straw, these are totally spoon-worthy.

I recently reinvented this recipe to make them lighter and fluffier, and more pineapple-y than ever before. I took them to work and they disappeared in no time! A definite crowd pleaser, perfect for breakfast on-the-go and anytime snacking.

Okay, so more oatmeal, amiright? But these seven (yup, seven!) variations on my quick and easy overnight oats “formula” transform the wintery staple into a cool, refreshing and surprisingly light and filling breakfast to enjoy from spring into summer.

Sometimes it’s a smoothie kind of day — more and more often as the days get longer and warmer. Don’t let the green color worry you — this smoothie tastes anything but healthy! Frozen bananas blend up creamy smooth with pineapple, taking your morning greens boost to the tropics. (I seem to dreaming of the Caribbean over here!)

Who knew that making poached eggs could be so easy?! They’re by far my favorite way to eat eggs, and now I make them at home whenever I want (truly… breakfast, lunch, snack, elevensies) with a simple little trick to make them successfully every time.

Whole wheat pastries are dense-no-more with my sneaky little trick, using a pantry staple ingredient. These scones are crunchy on the outside, light on the inside and bursting with blueberry-lemon goodness.

These colorful, beautiful breakfast bowls just scream springtime and are packed with vitamins and minerals to get you through the day. And the best part? They’re done in just 5 minutes. Now that’s a fancy breakfast I can get behind any weekday.

I could munch on granola all day long — drizzled with cold milk, sprinkled over Greek yogurt, or just plain like a snack mix. This recipe packs in all of my favorites — banana, coconut oil, cinnamon, and walnuts. Yummm-0!

Umm hi. Cinnamon rolls are a definite indulgence, one that my mom used to make for me every once in a while on weekend mornings. Ahh to wake up to the smell of cinnamon wafting upstairs. Combine that with one of my all-time favorite ingredients — pumpkin! — and we’ve got a definite must-try.
